To day the boys are still at work pulling fodder in the bottom field. John again went out in hunt of the oxen. Father [Joshua James Hall] & Mother [Mahala Sharp Hall nee Roberts] came up but did not remain long. After dinner Billy & Robert Stewart left for Crockett. I ground 12½ bushels of corn. weather changeable & hot with occasional showers of rain. Ther: 90°.
Thus closes my notes for the month of December and also for the year just passed and gone and now numbered with the things that were. Whether the Almighty will spare me to chronicle the daily events of the incoming year is more than I know but trusting in Him I shall enter upon the pleasing task, which is useful as a reference and may be profitable to those who have an interest in me.
